Red and Margaret - they are known as shell beads and have a hole down the centre. I bought them while I was 'abroad' on the Isle of Wight last year! They really are a stunning bead but it was 'how to' incorporate them that caused me a few moment's thought!!!
So, how *did* you attach the shell beads to the tatting? Is there a pattern coming up...? (I may just have a go at copy-catting your lovely things if not, you know...)
Hi creativasuculencia - it's been done before but not quite the way I did it - so I found out after!!!! There is a pattern coming up and I'm working on the drawings at the moment.
OOhh such pretty colors!! Green is my favorite color but once I saw the var. red/yellow one I just love it!! Its very pretty I hope to tat as pretty one day!
I ADORE ADORE ADORE these! What are the middle 'beads' made of?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous are they beads or buttons in the middle?
